"There are no noblemen now" shifted
the trooper contemptuously. Congress
has SO decreed it. All men are born free
and equal"
"But they are not, Allan" said Thank
full, with a pretty trouble in her brOws;
"even cows are not born equal. Is yon
calf that was dropped last night by Brin-
die the equal of my red heifer whose
mother came by herself in a ship from
Surrey? Do they look equal?"
"Titles are but BREATH" said Capt.
Brewster doggedly. There was an omi-
nous pause.
"Nay, there is one nobleman left" said
Thankful; "and he is my own-my ma
ture's uoblemanr
Capt. Brewster did not reply. From
certain arch gestures and wreathed smiles
with which this forward young woman
accompanied her statement, it would seem
to be implied that the gentleman who
stood before her was the nobleman alluded
to. At least, he so accepted it, and en-
braced her closely, her arms and part Of
her mantle clinging around his neck. In
this attitude they remained quiet for some
moments, slightly rocking from side to
side like metronome; a movement,
fancy, peculiarly bucolic, pastoral and
| idyllic, and as such, l wot, observed by
| Theocrtus and Virgil.
| At these supreme moments weak woman
usually keeps her wits about her much
better than your superior reasoning mas
culine animal; and, while the gallant cap
tain was losing himself upon her perfect
lips, Miss Thankful distinctly heard the
| farm gate click, and otherwise noticed that
the moon was getting high and obtrusive.
She half released herself from the captains
arms, thoughtfully and tenderly-but
firmly. "Tcll me all about yourself, AL
Ian dear" she said quietly, making room
for him on the wall -"all, everything"
She turned upon him her beautiful eyes
eyes habitually earnest and even grave
in expression, yet holding in their brave
brown depths a sweet, childlike reliance
and dependency; eyes with a certain ten
der, deprecating droop in the brown
fringed lids, and yet eyes that seemed tC

deed, am convinced there is not one Of
my impossible sex, who, looking in those
pleading eyes, would not have perjured

appointed their fair owner.
Capt. Brewster's mouth resumed its ole
expression of discomfort.
Everything is growing worse, Thank
full, and the cause Is lost, Congress doe
nothing, and Washington is not the MAJ

"Well," replied the figure, supporting
a prettily rounded chin on her hands as
she laid her elbows complacently on the

"Thankful, hush"
"Capt. Allan Brewster, of the Connecti-

an affected raising of II low, pathetic voice
that was, however, inaudible beyond the
tree. "Capt. Brewster, behold me-your
obleeged and humble servant and sweet

Capt. Brewster succeeded after n slight
skirmish at the wall, in possessing him

still struggling, she reented slightly.

INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL.
Measures Taken to DO Away with tn
Rough Features of the Game.

Measures Taken to DO Away with the
Rough Features of the Game.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The intercollegiate
Football association met at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last evening and took important action
toward eliminating from the game the rough
features that have marred it in the past few
years. Practical and sensible measures were
adopted to this end and they were the ap-
proyal, slightly altered, of the recommends
ton made last spring by the faculties and
advisory committees of the colleges repre-
sented in the league, that there be two ref
erees in every game, one to be selected by the
captains of the contesting team to decide the
technical points of the game, the other to
be selected by the faculties and the
advisory committees of the contesting
colleges to give his entire attention to pre-
venting unfair and rough play. The latter
officer is to be graduate of one of the COL
leges in the league, but not an alumrus of
either of the contesting colleges. The dele
gates who attended the convention included
Walter G. Camp 80, Yale's veteran athlete;
Captain FL. W. Beecher '88 and G. M. Gill
'S8, of Yale; ex-Captain Brooks S7 of Har-
ward, now in the medical school, who has
played four years at Harvard and three at
Exeter, being captain of teams at both insti-
tutions; Captain A. F. Holden of Harvard, who
has followed in Mr.. Brooks path as captain
of Harvard and Exeter teams Frank Remine-
ton '87, who has played in Harvard and ST.
PauFs teams; G. S. Mumford, captain of the
Harvard 'versity crew of 's6; Captain Wag-
enhurst 'SS of Princeton, who is captain of
both the football and base ball teams; II. S.
Hodge '86 and R. Hodge &c. who are both
now in the Princeton theological school and
will play this season for the fifth time in the
Princeton team; Captain Beattys 88 of Yves
leyan, an old timer, and S. Y. Coffin $50,
manager of the Wesleyan team.

sunnelI,s Museum and old London

Street opens with Boom.
George B. BunneH has added his name
once more to the list of metropolitan amuse-
meut caterers. He is now the manager of
the Old London Street and has combined his
museum attractions with the heretofore grim
attractions of the dingy streets. The place
opened yesterday under the new regime. It
was gala day and the bunting display gave
life to the scene. Bnunell is a museum man
ager of vast experience and fully understands
the wants of the people. The place was
thronged from the openi until the days
close. George o. Starr, the director of the
enterprise, is the right man in the right place.
A stage has been erected at the rear end OF
the Old London Street and a good specially
show Is given continuously, the programme
comprising singing, dancing, musical acts
and sketches and a scene from "The Honey
moon" G. ". Harding's London Mystery
is in the upper hall and Till's Marionettes ar
ever, is Woodward and his wonderfully edu-
Gated seals, who do every thing but talk, and
some persons easily made out that they could
do that. They do bell ringing, banjo, guitar
and drum playing, run machinery, fight a
sham battle and illustrate the race between
the Volunteer and Thistle, the former win
ming of course. The greatest of their feats
is the rescue OF a child from the water.
There have been trained seals here before,
but none SO thoroughly educated. These are
no primary school seals; they are collegiaus.
The new Old London is big go, thanks to

An English Land Company Turn
ing western Farmers Out of Their
Homes.
DIES MONIES, Oct. 9.-The brief telegram
from Washington reciting sundry cruel evic-
lions in northwestern Iowa has been doubted
here. One of the most reliable citizens of
O'Brien county was asked as to the truthful
ness of the dispatch and instantly endorsed
it. In regard to the English land company
which is said to be turning American citizens
out of their homes, he said: 'It certainly is
true. They are an old firm recognized into
the Western Land company. They bought
from the old McGregor Western or its assigns,
the Milwaukee and the Sioux City companies,
some lands granted to the McGregor Western
in 1864 but never earned, for the road was
never built When Teller was Secretary of
the Interior he and the land commissioner
both declared the lands unearned, and
promised to open them for settlement. On
the faith of these declarations and promises
some settlers went on these lands and built
their homes. The English syndicate now has
the railroad title and proposes to keep pos
session. They evlcted at least one hundred
families. Before they get through the num-
Der will be increased to one hundred and
forty"
"You say you know some of the families.
Were any of those you know subjected to I'M
due severity in the evictions2" eyes, the
Finch family locked their doors and windows
were broken in, and they were carried out
and compelled to spend the night on the
public road. In the case of Nels Nelson the
same thing happened. And he was SO ter
rorized by troop of srmed men, and by
levies on his live stock and furniture that he
succumbed and signed the company's lease.
Others have been terrorized into doing the
same thing In one case with which L am
personally familiar, the mother-in law, who
is a member of the family, was sick abed.
She was carried out into a hard rain and
compelled to spend the night there, and in
the morning seek such shelter the family
could find for her These are only few Of
the cases know personally, but they will do

occurred and half as many more that are

A Missing mormon Turns Up.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 9.-Something of
sensation was caused yesterday at the Mor~
mon conference by the appearance in the
pulpit of Apostle Eustus Snow, who preach
ed long discourse. Snow has been hiding
for more than a year to avoid arrest for I'M
lawful cohabitation, this being his first pub
lie appearance and he was not arrested. It
is thought that no complaint has been fled
against him in the United States court and
that he has been fleeing all this time when no
man pursued. In the conference yesterday
afternoon a seven column epistle to the
Saints from President Woodruff was read.
It intimates no change of policy on the part
of the church and is devoted chiefly to ex-
horting the Mormons to be faithful to their
religion.

HUNTERS POINT, L. l., Oct. 9.-Mrs.
Charles Schaeffer, of Breslau, while walking
across George Gaebleins garden at the same
place yesterday afternoon was shot and in
stantly killed by Gaeblein, who was lying in
wait for the purpose He Immediately buried
the woman's body in grave he had prepared.
The husband of Mrs. Schaeffer came the same
way later on and was also shot by Gaeblein,
but only slightly wounded in the hands.
Gaeblein was arrested. After search Mrs.
Schaeffer's body was discovered in the grave.
The trouble which led to the shooting has
been of long standing. 1t was caused by the
Schaeffers using the path through Gaeblein' q
property.
The murder of Mrs. Helene Schauffert was
exceedingly brutal. She was shot in the
head then run through with sabre. She
was eighty years old. Gaebelein has con-
fessed the crime. The scene of the murder
is near where old Philip Schiedmiller and his
young wife were butchered not long ago.
Gaebelein has been suspected of killing the
couple.
